So yesterday, I went out with H, hereafter known forever as Cheetah, both for her habit of walking as if she were sprinting and her hair, which is this really cool turquoise with prurple edging and spots, with patterns shaved into it. She's a fun girl, and good to be around. We went out to brunch and then hung around Capitol Hill for a while. We went to Toys in Babeland, walked up and down Broadway, gathered compliments on her hair, and then went to a party at a cool little condo.I knew nobody but Cheetah there, but had a good time regardless. The party was maybe 70% gay men, and most of them had taste in clothes that would make me cry if I thought about it too much. I hate to confirm the stereotypes, but they were indeed fabulously dressed.
We had Thai food and piña coladas, and chatted for hours. Eventually I went home, and I count the day as being very well spent.
I seem to have a dearth of stories in me lately. It's really strange. I have smallish stories, stories about cats sleeping or wind blowing across the lake, but nothing earth-shattering, nothing huge.I'm just running low again, like i have been for a while. To end it, i need to sit down and write. (But to sit down and write, I need time, i need space, and I have a definite lack of both at the moment.
I need to start carrying a real backpack again, I think, so i can carry a normal-sized notebook with me. I was doing really well until I switched to the small bag.
That and find my determination again. I seem to have plenty of will these days; i should just direct some of that towards writing.
Like depth perception, the ability to use chopsticks has seemingly come out of nowhere.My life: sounds like fiction, feels pretty real.
